Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi Abeer,

Open your file with a text editor like notepad and change the version from 6.1.0 to 6.0.0

Cheers,

Ronnie

XER is a text file. Open a copy with editor or notepad. In the first line is "6.1.0" modify into "6.0.0".

Should work.
